"Casual appreciation? Do you think I, Xia Yuhan, am a cabbage?"
As the daughter of a prominent general, being provoked so arrogantly under the bright sun made Xia Yuhan feel somewhat sad. Those who secretly schemed against her, pushing her like this and tarnishing her reputation, undoubtedly wanted her to just give up and die.
No! She wanted to live; she couldn't die! Having already died once, she wanted to live well! There might still be a chance to travel back in time, so she absolutely could not die!
Facing a group of burly men rolling up their sleeves with lewd looks in their eyes, Xia Yuhan showed no fear on her face. Calmly and unhurriedly, she clenched her fists and assumed a fighting stance: "Come on! Today I will show you that I, Xia Yuhan, am not someone to be trifled with!"
With a fierce leap, she landed on one of the burly men and slashed him with a dagger.
Inside the narrow Chastity Arch, a woman in tattered red clothing staggered back and forth...
Xia Yuhan seized the opportunity, using the burly man's body to propel herself forward. She then struck at the vital points of two men charging at her. In the blink of an eye, three burly men fell to the ground.
However, due to the intensity of her movements, Xia Yuhan had multiple scratches on her body that were torn open; it hurt—painfully so.
But who was she? Could such minor pain bring her down? Although this body wasn't hers, her spirit was as strong as stone! Moreover, she knew how to subdue them! If she couldn't handle these few men, would she still be the former police officer Xia Yuhan?
Gritting her teeth and disregarding her injuries, she fought fiercely with several burly men for a moment. With all her strength, she managed to take down more than ten of them.
The onlookers were stunned; they could hardly believe that such a weak woman possessed such incredible lethality...
"Look? What are you looking at? Haven't you seen enough?"
Xia Yuhan stood breathlessly in the center of the crowd. The people blocking the entrance of Chastity Arch retreated after realizing her strength. However, for some reason, after a brief lull in insults, chaos erupted again as someone in the crowd led another round of curses...
"I never expected that General Xia, who has fought all his life, would have such a frivolous daughter. Tsk tsk..."
"With a daughter like this from Xia Manor, in my opinion, she should be publicly beaten to death! To uphold the reputation of Xia Manor!"
"Exactly! She should die to atone for her sins. What face does she have to live in this world? Does she intend to continue seducing others?"
"Exactly! Just a concubine's daughter, and she dares to be so arrogant? Giving her a complete corpse would be too generous!"
...
As the atmosphere of cursing among the crowd intensified, those watching spontaneously moved forward, surrounding Xia Yuhan at the Chastity Arch so tightly that it felt as if they were about to throw rotten eggs and tomatoes at her any moment.
Although Xia Yuhan was a modern Female Police Officer, this was the first time she faced such a scene. Just when she was about to lose control of the situation...
Suddenly, the sound of urgent hoofbeats came from the direction of the Chastity Arch, causing the onlookers to scatter in chaos, fearing they might get kicked by the horses.
Someone shouted, "Look! It's Longhui Prince!"
The crowd became even more chaotic! Because if they didn't disperse quickly and disturbed the prince, they would all be in trouble.
In a flurry, the crowd dispersed. Although it was chaotic, Xia Yuhan still noticed many young women in the crowd throwing flirtatious glances at Longhui Prince, eager for him to notice them. Even though they knew Longhui Prince couldn't see them...
Hmph! I see you are not any better! To cling to power and wealth, you don't hesitate to sell your looks. What right do you have to criticize me, Xia Yuhan?
Xia Yuhan looked at the young girls with disdain, standing calmly in the Chastity Arch. Although Canglong Hui's appearance temporarily relieved her predicament, she felt no goodwill towards him from the moment she first laid eyes on him.
She believed that this Longhui Prince's sudden appearance was not as simple as it seemed. A prince of a nation could not possibly show up here without reason at this time. Was he here to save her? To rescue someone at Chastity Arch? Was that even realistic?
Seeing the arrogant expression on his face, she did not think he was there to help her; it felt more like he was there to deal with her!
However, she wanted to see what he planned to do with her.
If she were to die, she might as well take someone down with her! Taking a prince along would be worth it!
Canglong Hui rode his horse leisurely toward Xia Yuhan, his presence commanding and overwhelming, as if an emperor had arrived, suppressing the entire scene.
The people around dared not disturb the prince and instinctively made way, kneeling aside.
Thus, the originally chaotic scene became eerily quiet due to the arrival of Longhui Prince and his entourage.
Longhui Prince stood atop his horse, looking down at her: "Xia Yuhan, why do you not kneel upon seeing This King?"
Xia Yuhan raised her gaze, staring blankly at this Longhui Prince who stood above all others. He had a well-proportioned figure, but his thick sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised, exuding arrogance and contempt, with an underlying air of indulgence in wine and pleasure.
Such a person inspired no respect in Xia Yuhan; if she were forced to kneel, it would only be for his title, not for him as a person!
Xia Yuhan, who traveled from modern times, did not have the habit of kneeling before powerful figures at every turn.
So when the entire bustling city fell silent, and everyone knelt and prostrated themselves on the ground before Longhui Prince, a woman in a striking red dress stood out in the glaring Chastity Arch.
The prince on horseback, Canglong Hui, initially did not explode in anger. He stared at the stunningly beautiful woman, somewhat dazed.
He could never have imagined that his heartfelt desire to marry her would result in such betrayal! When he first received the news, he couldn't believe it. Now, braving the city's gossip to see her, he wished he could slice the woman before him into a thousand pieces!
Canglong Hui's brows rose arrogantly, disdain evident on his lips, and murderous intent surged in his eyes: "Xia Yuhan, is this King not as good as the Adulterer in your eyes? How dare you engage in such disgraceful acts behind this King's back! Since that is the case, your existence in this world is a calamity. Very well, this King will now eliminate you, General Xia!"
With that, he drew the treasured sword from his embrace, its sharp edge pointing directly at Xia Yuhan.
At that moment, Xia Yuhan felt as if she had been hollowed out: she was being bullied by others, and he wanted to kill her with his own hands... It seemed that this Longhui Prince only valued her breathtaking beauty, which was why he wanted to marry her.
But would she just die like this?
No! She absolutely could not die like this!
